The Roast

Coffee beans are roasted to bring out the different flavors. The temperature and length of roasting affects how they taste. 

Darker roasts are roasted at a higher temperature, and for a longer time. The darker the roast, the stronger and possibly more bitter the coffee will taste. Darker roasts will pull out richer flavors, such as chocolate. The higher heat reduces the amount of antioxidants and caffeine. 

Lighter roasts are roasted at a lower temperature and for less time. Light roasts maintain their flavors closer to when the bean was picked, including fruits and florals. Contrary to popular belief, it’s a myth that darker roasts have more caffeine. In truth, light-roasted coffee is slightly higher in caffeine and antioxidants.  .
